Tested out the KBS Rust Stop on the closing plate. Not crazy how it looks so I may try and redo it with a spray gun.

A few years ago I had mine sand blasted and powder coated for less than a hundred bucks.

Installed DGo's switch plate. I had their old one but it was quite flimsy and I was always accidentally turning on my "mood" lights. This one seems pretty nice although I opted to just drill and screw it into place rather than use the zip ties.

Also attached a intake air scoop. With the sealed pontoon intake I put on last year, this is now a true "Ram Air" setup. I can only imagine my top gear 60-100 and 100-140 roll ons will be around 3 seconds now.

Of course I had to include the matching driver's side for optimum charcoal evap performance. These were kind of an impulse buy and I wasn't sure how I would like them but they do give a hint of bad assness to the car (even if there is more "ass" than "bad").

"Imagine" being the key word. Lol. Reminds me of a Thunderbird my dad had. We rigged up a ram air and it ran worse. Had to take it off. Of course it was carb. (Carbs don't really like pressured air) In your case, it's possible it could do something. Not sure if I like em or not. Do you have to "hurt" anything to attach them. (Like drill holes)

You know I knew those words were yours before I even saw your user name.
Yes I had to drill 16 holes (8 in each panel). The scoops had threaded M8 studs on them and included the appropriate nuts and lock washers. This level of security is necessary because the scoops would be subjected to a lot of stress and wind resistance once the car breaks the 160mph threshold.

Definitely!
Seriously, what's the deal with the antenna? I don't have one. Am I suppose to? I didn't notice any hole there. (I need to look close tomarrow) My radio doesn't work, but I think it's worse than no antenna.

Antennas had 3 different locations. Early cars had them embedded in the windscreen. Later ones had them in the rear pontoon and then the fender mount(I may have that backwards). If you can't find it, it's probably in the windscreen and I believe that is pretty desirable among the purists.

Mine is an early car, but I don't think there's one in the windshield. I wonder if it had one and they replaced the windshield with a non-antenna. I have to say, all the glass in my car looks brand new. I have an old VW beetle and that 40+ year old glass doesn't look so great.
